Ko Holds and Loveless Leaves the Tournament
Wing Sze Ko moved all in from the button for her remaining ~18,000 stack. Marta Porter called from the small blind and players flipped their cards.
Wing Sze Ko: A♠A♣
Marta Porter: K♣10♥
Ko safely secured the double with very little sweat on the 8♣5♠9♥4♣Q♥ runout.
On the next table across, Alexandra Loveless was all in for 14,000 from an early position and action had folded around to Elizabeth Bennett-Martin in the big blind.
Bennett-Martin moved a chip in to call and the players went heads-up to showdown.
Alexandra Loveless: Q♥10♥
Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: Q♦K♥
The flop came 10♦6♥J♦ which brought in a pair and backdoor flush draw for loveless. Bennett-Martin also was looking at a straight and backdoor flush draw.
A Q♣ was turned, bringing in top pair for Bennett-Martin.
The A♥ river sealed Loveless's fate, and she was eliminated late in the day.
